I just posted video of FRC Team 3928 Neutrino first match EVER!
You can see their swerve in action.

And Match 16 is here:

...having watched these two matches I haven't actually seen the swerve in action. Did you ever run into a match situation where you NEEDED to go sideways? There weren't any maneuvers in either of those videos that couldn't be accomplished by a skid-steer drivetrain.

Beautiful swerve, probably not needed.

Love,
John
